Metres
The metre, or meter, is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit symbol is m. The metre is currently defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. The current world record for running 100 metres is 9.58 seconds, set by Usain Bolt in 2009.
Feet
The foot is a unit of length in the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. Since the International Yard and Pound Agreement of 1959, one foot is defined as 0.3048 meters exactly. In both customary and imperial units, one foot comprises 12 inches and one yard comprises three feet. The foot is taken from the average length of a mans foot, but in older times was just uner 12 inches.
